Native Waters: A Chitimacha RecollectionThe Chitimacha, the 1000-member tribe known as "the People of Many Waters," are heirs to an unbroken 8000-year past. Living off the bounty of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin, one of the richest inland estuaries on the continent, this indigenous nation persists and rejuvenates its culture despite gradually losing its ancestral territory to environmental and man-made forces. This program journeys into sacred places of the Atchafalaya Basin with author Roger Stouff, the son of the last chief of the Chitimacha Indians and a keeper of his family's oral tradition. Stouff shares native stories, beliefs and perspectives about this often overlooked people. An avid fly-fisherman, Stouff laments the certain demise of the river basin, the depletion of its sacred fishing and hunting grounds and the painful "vanishings" of the time-honored Chitimacha way of life.duration 26:46

The Path of Positive Resistance* Between them, doctors Jill Stein and Margaret Flowers have been arrested 9 times. In the face of injustice and government by the 1%, rather than look the other way and stick to practicing medicine they chose a different approach. At first they took separate paths. Margaret Flowers fought for single payer health insurance. She works for the organization Physicians for a National Health Program and is a contributor to PopularResistance.org, a website advocating nonviolent direct action against injustice. Jill Stein advocated for campaign finance reform in her home state of Massachusetts, working in 1998 with others in her community to pass the Clean Election Law. She co-founded the Massachusetts Coalition for Healthy Communities in 2003 and represented the Green-Rainbow Party for governor in 2002, for State Representative in 2004 and for Secretary of State in 2006. She was the Green Party candidate for president in 2012. Now Stein and Flowers are both members of the Green Shadow Cabinet, a group of 100 prominent men and women offering alternative policy and speaking out in an organized voice against a dysfunctional government. Stein serves as president and Flowers as secretary of health. Each fights against political corruption and a host of grievances that that have led many people to cynicism and despair. This week, Bill Moyers speaks with Stein and Flowers about their personal journeys, what they have learned about our political system along the way and why they continue to fight the good fight. "Once you start speaking truth to power and standing up for the right things, it's very empowering," Margaret Flowers tells Bill. "After the Occupy movement disbanded and people kept saying, 'Oh, it's gone, it went away,' it didn't go away. It inspired others to stand up for their rights. So we see low wage workers all around the country standing up. And now states that are starting to raise their minimum wages. We see anti-foreclosure activists fighting back and people being able to stay in their homes. We see communities creating democratic economic institutions so that they can lift themselves out of poverty. These things are happening. They're not covered in the mass media. They're not funded by the big funders. But they're happening in this country. " * Also on the broadcast, Bill reports back on viewer response to our recent segments on drone attacks and government surveillance and previews the new film "Following the Ninth," a documentary exploring the worldwide cultural and political influence of Beethoven's masterpiece, the Ninth Symphony, and its majestic "Ode to Joy."duration 56:46

* Thursday, President Obama unveiled a plan to fix a provision of the Affordable Care Act that will allow policy holders whose current insurance plans were canceled to get 1-year extensions even if they don't conform to all the new health care laws. He also admitted that the administration "fumbled" last month's roll-out of the healthcare exchange program. On Wednesday the administration announced that only 106,000 people enrolled on the state and federal insurance exchanges since they opened on October 1. Republicans remain skeptical that the Affordable Care Act can be "fixed." The House will vote on Friday on a Republican bill to permanently change the health care law to allow insurance companies to continue selling existing policies that do not comply with the law's new standards. Meanwhile the president admitted that troubles in implementing the ACA have "put a burden on Democrats" whose constituents are unhappy that they might lose their current health insurance plans despite the president's assurances that if they liked their existing plans, they could keep them. Joining Gwen Ifill to explore the proposed solution to fix Obamacare and whether the ongoing political battle over the president's signature legislative achievement could stall other legislative priorities including a long-term budget deal, immigration reform and passing a farm bill: Dan Balz of The Washington Post, John Harwood of CNBC and The New York Times, and Jeff Zeleny of ABC News. * Secretary of State John Kerry remains optimistic that the US and international community will be able to reach a deal with Iran over its nuclear program before the end of the month. Kerry returned to Washington this week empty-handed after talks in Geneva failed to yield an interim deal. Kerry spent part of the week trying to persuade skeptical lawmakers on Capitol Hill determined to impose a new wave of sanctions on Iran that some members of Congress believe would give the US increased leverage in negotiations. Indira Lakshmanan of Bloomberg News traveled with the secretary of state and will report on the sticking points of a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program.duration 26:46

The former U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary and governor of Arizona sits down with Scott Shafer to discuss her vision for the 10-campus system and responds to criticism of her record on immigration.

Examining California's Criminal Justice Experiment
Two years into California's massive criminal justice experiment dubbed "realignment," a new Stanford University study examines how the reforms are playing out across the state's 58 counties, many with different resources and distinct approaches. Since realignment went into effect, more than 100,000 prisoners have been diverted from state prisons to county jails or probation. While some law enforcement agencies report rising crime rates and a decline in public safety, other agencies say they have renewed their emphasis on rehabilitation.
